One of the reason for using this would if one uses NFS to store datafiles you may find even though you drop the tablespace with the option to include datafiles it doesn’t free space as there may be oracle processes that still have handle open on the datafile as you will notice .nfs9999 file remaining in the directory where the datafile resides. So to free up space you may need to find the user sessions that have an handle open on the datafiles so by using fuser .nfs9999 you can find the process id and then map it back to the oracle session.
